Anyone using one of these? I would like to here your comments on its quality and usability. I will be using it as an off axis polar finder for my Gemini Mount.

Many thanks in advance.

Tom

Tom,

I use the JMI EZ Align with one of my G11's. The design and function seems identical to the Losmandy Polar Alignment Scope. I like to take astrophotos so polar alignment is important to me. As I shoot film - frequently for fairly long exposures - a quick way to accurately polar align is critical. I use this scope exclusively to polar align my system. I have never found it necessary to drift align after polar aligning with my EZ Align. In short - very recommended! I have enclosed a sample image taken last winter.
